La Vielle Ferme 2004 Cotes du Ventoux: From the Perrin brothers. A blend of Grenache, Syrah, Mourvedre and Cinsault. Good cherry color in the glass. Tangy acidity, sweet cherry fruit, some spices, but not much else. Pleasant but, as with the wine above, previous bottles have been much more enjoyable and have offered more complexity.

Les Grés XL Viognier 2004 Vin de Pays D'oc: From Les Vignerons de Puisserguier. Medium-yellow color. Peachy nose. Medium-weight, oily, peaches, very intense citric bitterness, floral, spicy, intense grapefruit rind bitterness on the end. After a while the intensity of the fruit became a bit wearing. Again, this bottle wasn't as good as previous ones were.
